July 4th, the Verdict, and the BEST family!!!!!


Good grief! The Fourth of July came and went so fast! I must admist that I didn't want to leave my home for the last 30 some odd days (no pun here) because I have been so foolishly wrapped up watching the Casey Anthony Trial. However, we had an enjoyable trip to Lake Tobesofkee and went out in the boat to watch fireworks over the water! I have to thank the best husband in the world, my husband, Keith. He does everything when it comes to loading up, setting up, and getting us to and fro. Of course my son does ALOT too. I am so very fortunate in my life.

OK. Casey Anthony will walk free. Well OK? SO WHAT, theres nothing anyone can do anymore. I wish that every channel would start focusing on other things. It is true that I am distantly related to Nancy Grace (through the Stokes) and I intend to write Nancy. She may not be aware of the Macon law graduate, Lauren Giddings, that was found DISMEMBERED near hear apartment across from Mercer Law School. She was about the take the BARR exam. Nancy's Mother may or may not have told her about the story so I plan on sending her a letter, since I know where to write to her personally. How can people be so cruel? It is VERY scary when you think that our shop is only 8 blocks from where Lauren was found. We drive by the law school all the time. It's our hometown. I fear especially for my child when these things hit close to home. I pray they find justice in THIS case, but my faith in the justice system it pretty minute after Casey's acquittal. I vote that we should all FORGET about CASEY Anthony and just hope that no one gives her the time of day. May Caylee RIP and never SHE be forgotten.

I decided to catch up blogging. It's too dang hot to even go outside and one can only watch so many hours of TV a day. Our Lab Shelby has a nice large pen in the shade but we go out and hose her down when its so hot and muggy. She's black and black dogs can get hotter than other dogs. I try not to worry about her because she is a well taken care of doggie. There's that word again...."worry"......I was watching a pastor on some channel this morning. They were talking about "WORRY" and said to try and ban that word for your vocabulary. It's not even sun-up yet and I've already broken that rule!

I'm planning on making another doll to pass the time. I think I will make another primitive doll since they are so cute and popular and my last one turned out so well. She's from a Happy Heart pattern called Mammy's Babies Love Shortenin' Bread.

I hope everyone had a great holiday. Stay cool. If you are like me you are heat intolerant. I'm thankful for everyday but HATE HATE HATE the heat. I am so glad that my hubby is off til Monday. We've been married almost 18 years (together 21) and the older we get the more I hate to be apart from him AT ALL. He is good as gold. Better than gold, really. I LOVE YOU BABY!

How about passing the story along about the law student I told you about? Let's help out if it's nothing more than spreading the word. As far as I know they didn't really have any leads. STAY COOL YALL! Hurry up Fall!
